November, 2009

2. What MPM is not…
Manager Pro Media is not just another ‘budgeting tool’.
It is not a software program for the accounting area.
Neither is it a tool conceived for a single department.
It does not substitute or collide with the existing financial ERP.
MPM is not a single-purpose software.
